– Lease vehicles
– Short term rental vehicles
– Private vehicles used on duty
• Demands on alcohol starter interlock on suppliers of transport and

on governments (state agencies, administrations) vehicles and travels
Started as only environmental decree, evolved with safety demands in
2009
– Environmental and safety demands on cars bought, leased and used
by governmental bodies
– Alternative fuels, low CO2 emissions, low in particulates
– Alcolock (at least 75% of the fleet)

Alcolocks – 10 years of systematic
work with two parallel areas
As..
an alternative to driving licence
revocation
a quality assurance of transports
Results 2008:
23 % of municipalities and 18 % of county councils have
stipulating the need for alcolocks when purchasing new
vehicles
50.000+ alcolocks installed
Sweden; municipalities 290. County councils /Regions 20

The road transport system is an
open and complex system…
•
•
•
•
Infrastructure
Vehicles
Road
Transportation of goods
and passengers
• Road users during the
execution of their duties
• Corporations and
organizations
• Regulatory framework
• Monitoring
• Etc..
…This is where ISO 39001 comes in!
ISO/PC 241, Road traffic safety management systems, 2009
The vision behind ISO 39001
•
Elimination of death and serious
injury in the road transport system
is the overarching goal.
•
A voluntary and complementary
tool to legislation, addressing all
organizations interfering with road
traffic and driven by the needs of
interested parties, including market
forces.
•
An approach to utilize and
disseminate ”best practice”.
•
Knowledge transfer from Traffic
safety experts to the intended user
community of the standard.
ISO/PC 241, Road traffic safety management systems, 2009
On the road to ISO 39001
- Road Traffic Safety (RTS) management systems
•
Work item approved by ISO ballot
among ISO member countries
January 2008.
•
ISO Project Committee, ISO/PC
241, established by ISO Technical
management board February 2008
•
Secretariat allocated to Swedish
Standards Institute.
•
ISO 39001 to be published at the
end of 2011.

ISO 39001
ISO/PC 241, Road traffic safety management systems, 2009
An ISO management system
standard …
•
is a voluntary tool for organizations
to work systematically with specific
issues (Environment, Quality, Food
safety, Road Traffic Safety etc.).
•
is often based on the concept of
continual improvement – PDCA
cycle and process approach.
•
does not specify any specific
technical solution or minimum
requirements and is flexible and
adaptable to the needs and
resources of each specific
organization

The “architecture” of ISO 39001
draft standard
• The overall structure and content aligned with ISO management
systems
• Clause 4. Top management responsibilities and commitment
- concept adopted from ISO 9000 and ISO 31000
• Clause 5.2. Organizational context related to RTS
- adopted from ISO/TMB/JTCG “Joint vision” and ISO 31000
• Clause 5.4.1.1 RTS performance factors
- reflects common experience and knowledge in the field of road traffic safety
• Clause 5.6.3.1. Incident investigation
- partly adopted from OHSAS 18001
- the “marriage” between ISO world
and Traffic Safety expertise
ISO/PC 241, Road traffic safety management systems, 2009
Top management responsibilities and
commitments
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Focus on health and prevention of loss of life
Focus on results
Leadership
Partnership and collaboration

RTS performance factors
• a) Risk exposure factors
– Traffic volume and traffic mileage by vehicle and road user
type
– Product/service volume provided by the organization
• b) Final safety outcome factors
– Deaths and serious injuries
• c) Intermediate safety outcome factors
ISO/PC 241, Road traffic safety management systems, 2009
RTS performance factors
(c) Intermediate safety outcome factors
• 1. The safe planning, design, operation and use of the road
network
– Road design and safe speed
– Use of appropriate roads
– Use of personal safety equipment
– Safe driving speed
– Fitness of drivers especially considering fatigue, alcohol
and drugs
– Safe journey planning including consideration of the need
to travel, the amount and mode of travel and choice of
route
• 2. The safe entry and exit of vehicles and road users to the road
network
• 3. The recovery and rehabilitation of crash victims from the road
network
ISO/PC 241, Road traffic safety management systems, 2009
Conclusion / Key findings
A shared vision => new ideas and solutions, shared responsibility
Targets, monitoring => systematic follow up, realism
Collaboration => less conflicts / confrontations
Road safety in enterprises = crucial to create effects
Automobile industry/Road administration = important
